*1/22/2019 update. Due to a couple of blurry pictures showing the distance and height of the cans, the evidence for this record was rejected. I spent half an hour putting all the cardboard under the table to get it exactly 85cm high and am disappointed my macro photo of the tape measure was blurry (the zoomed in one showed it as 85cm!)
When the fifth can fell, so did my 77th Guinness World Record. “Fastest time to topple five targets using a pump action foam dart gun”. The previous record was 13.11 seconds. When the 5th dart hit the 5th can only 5.18 seconds had elapsed since “Go”. The pump action dart gun I used actually had 6 darts loaded and I’m not sure I’d ever knocked over all 5 cans without using the 6th dart.

Only direct hits were allowed (no ricochets). The first hit was direct but glanced off the side of the can. I’m lucky the can still toppled over. I estimated I’ve taken about 10,000 Nerf Gun shots in the last year. Not only could I use the practice… the practice was a lot of fun. Surprisingly enough, Nerf gun shooting records are one the most enjoyable to practice.
Thanks to Cradlepoint for putting up with my record-breaking antics and for all the help timing, witnessing, and videoing!
I used diet A&W rootbeer cans if you were curious.
